Move over Queen Elizabeth! Selfie-Queen, Kim Kardashian, has officially made her mark on British grounds.

This morning, wax museum Madame Tussauds revealed the first ever selfie-taking waxwork of the selfie-obsessed star.

The wax figure of Mrs Kim Kardashian West features her Balmain bead-encrusted engagement outfit, which cost an alleged £13,000.

Portrayed with her trademark pout and one arm extended in the air, visitors can pose for a selfie with the Kim-replica, which can be taken with the touch of a button on a mobile phone in her hand that is constantly being charged with a wire that runs through the waxwork body and into the ground.

“When we were thinking about how we should portray Kim here at Madame Tussauds London it quickly became obvious it HAD to be taking a selfie”, explains Edward Fuller, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London. “But we wanted to get fans involved too… They can then be the proud owners of their very own Kim Kardashian selfie, as well as taking their own versions with their own phones”.

In true Kardashian style, the selfies stick to Kim’s ‘3-image rule’, which fans would know refers to Kim saying she never takes more than 3 photos in the same place.

The selfie backdrops constantly changes to a range of different places, such as the Eiffel Tower.

Even the “Greatest Living Rockstar”, Kanye West himself is due to pay a visit, and possibly take a selfie, at the wax museum later this month.
